Remember this book about rooftop gardens? Well, a NYC based photographer Stéphanie de Rougé shot a fantastic series called "On your Roof" where she shows an intimate, soothing and almost poetic side of those often hostile urban spaces. She wanted to show where random people hide their secrets and she found that often the rooftop is the most intimate place of all. Aren't those photos breathtaking? Wish we could climb on our roof sometimes with a bottle of wine and spend the evening looking at the twinkling lights!
P.S: Stay tuned for Giveaway Wednesday!
P.P.S: Here is the whole series.
(Thanks Mandy)

Both me and the Mr went 'hmm' at the thought og having a garden. Therefor we decided to buy a large apartment instead with a huge balcony to lounge on. It's heaven!

I would love to have a pool on the roof!!! That would be so fantastic in the summer. Not so much in the winter ;)

Looks so relaxing, especially the guy on the bike. Great series!

I love this! I wish I had a hot tub on my roof :)
I would love to have a rooftop to have intimate dinner parties and a quiet place to watch the world go by.

Roof Installation
These are amazing!
Love the pics! We share a rooftop at our building, but it's been closed for the last couple months. Hopefully they will reopen it soon! At least we still have our balcony!
I'd love to have a roof top garden and patio. We stayed at a hotel across from the UN a while ago and we were high enough up to be able to look down on everyone's roof top spaces...it was so relaxing to see others relaxing on their roofs in NYC!
it is amazing to see this
what wonderful photos.
We used to party on roof tops back home, it was so much fun.
But I am afraid here we would sizzle into the roof, lol
Amy
Ah! Totally makes me think of summer :). LOOOOOOVE.
There's a man eating a woman's foot in one of those hot tub pictures...fascinating stuff
Wow, these picture are genius! I have a friend who's roof you can climb out on! All houses should be built with that feature!
I will live on roof #2 please.
How totally gorgeous. What wonderful pictures and views!!
i always dream of living in a place with an awesome rooftop + view. :-) i rather have a rooftop than a front lawn. or maybe even a backyard.
These are amazing and great to see how folks escape into their own world amongst the masses. xo
hahah...Tish. It totally looks like it! hahah
Oh this is just so amazing...I imagine myself sitting on one and just daydreaming, perfect. Love it :)
that is one think I miss about living in NY, the awesome roof views and spaces
Great use of empty space. Xxxx
The movie screen is my fave!!

Aww...thank you, Dale:)
I've always wanted to spend some time in one of those rooftop gardens! They're beautiful! Ahhhh. I'm in a reverie right now. Thanks for sharing, D! x
I lOVE this. The hot tub shot is my favorite for sure. I love that they are all wearing fun hats and relaxing. Great views. Looks like a fabulous book..

Watching a movie in a mini-cinema on a rooftop sounds romantic! You can get to enjoy your favorite movies while star gazing at night. =)
So true, Adam:)
